Pencil, watercolours and ink on an 8x8" canvas board (that I think is only meant for acrylics and oils, but it gives the watercolours an unusual look, I think). I usually bog things down with photos, so I'm just posting the one two () here this time, but there are more on my blog if you're interested.

I'd love to know what you think!This is the first finished piece like this I've done in a long time (maybe ever! It's my first time using one of those boards anyway and I haven't painted in forever) and the first piece I've ever really considered selling or making prints of so I'd love to hear any feedback and, if it's okay for me to ask, if you think it's saleable (don't worry mods, I'm not soliciting! Just asking for opinions, I hope that's okay). But mostly, just what you think of the artwork!

Thanks for looking!

She's beautiful. You did a very good job showing texture with watercolors- mine tend to look muddy.

Thank you! Mostly my watercolours are just a wash and then I give most of the textures and outlines with ink pens, but I love the way you can get different tones and those sort of "water lines" when they dry (ah, watercolours make me feel all fuzzy inside ). The canvas might have had something to do with some of the texture this time too.

I'm looking for a title - so far all I've got is Red Riding Hood, which might be a bit boring Although actually, if anyone has any idea on how to seal the medium (the watercolours on the canvas) I'd be very appreciative! Since it's not what it's for, I think if I were to wet it I could probably move the paint around, still.

Maybe just call it Red. The viewers brain will fill in the rest Yes, the paint would move around if you got it wet...maybe an acrylic spray sealer (several light coats) would seal it
